The dissolving threads are coming out from inside stitch after blepharoplasty. Any suggestions?

Asked By:Irinca in Georgiana, AL

Hello, I have made upper lids blepharoplasty.The inside stitch was done with dissolving threads and outside with non dissolving,which were removed after 4 days.After 10 days the inner dissolving threads appeared in two places of a slightly opened scar and were partly removed by doctor.I have noticed that the threads were clearly showing up in other places too like small bumps.The doctor assured that they will be gone after month or so.Shall I wait or insist to remove them? Thank you.
